My sympathies to Martha's friends and family.

Good Lord! Remind me to wash something if I am going to take pictures to post here another time.
That was just good old Minnesota dust on my things....they aren't growing fur. 🙁

Back to the experts.

I have been trying to find more about this cream and sugar set. Bill gave me the words lustre ware which helped alot.....
The mark says Meito China Hand Painted Made in Japan. I looked on ebay for Meito and lustre ware....nothing. On Replacements I found nothing even remotely like this. The only lustre ware I found was ME1877 and that was just simply the blue lustre with a band of the butterscotch lustre, edged in black. Certainly could be used with this set. Any suggestions....or would this have been made only in the C & S with no place settings?
It is funny when all of a sudden I acquire several similar pieces....and now I want to know more. Also would love.....love....a few more pieces. 🙂
Thanking you in advance.
Ruth

Thanks Bill!

Hi Bill...I didn't notice the different number of holes. One has 15 and one has 16. Since they were packed with the salts I just guessed they were part of the set. Is there a name for the irridecent blue and peach colorization? Any idea of age?

JPEG Gordon?

Wow! what I do see is that after 2 days of working in the garden and yard...I am in need of some nail care. Oh Well! later.
Hi Gordon! 🙂

Can anyone help me with a name for the style and some kind of information about these pieces. I know that the little ones are salts and guess that the little shakers are peppers to go with salts. These are family pieces, but I don't know age.
The Creamer and Sugar is not part of the set, but because of similar colorations I have put these together.

Any and all information will be appreciated! You guys are always so wonderful.

Hi
Just checking to see if I need to reduce these.
